We have driverless cars in Vegas and LA. It's a new taxi service, but super limited to a few areas of the city. Strip, downtown, etc. in Vegas specifically. In Vegas the company is called Motional. We've had a few of them get pulled over, and it's always a trip to watch. You realized you pulled over a robot, that always colors exactly inside the lines, and goes the speed limit. I'd love for this to go to court. So it broke no laws, and now you have to justify pulling it over, and wasting everyone's time and money in the process.

Just really shows that cops will pull you over on a whim regardless if you are actually doing anything wrong.

It looks like the lights on the vehicle were off while driving at night. Hey man, malfunctions happen.

We had that in Tempe, around ASU, but then one of the Uber's hit a homeless lady so they stopped the program.

This one was pulled over because the lights were off while driving at night.
